Article Abstract

Introduction Among malignant brain tumors, glioblastoma (GB) is one of the most common. An early diagnosis would benefit the prognosis: in this regard, the search for sensitive and specific biomarkers is particularly active. In fact, liquid biopsy has been proposed by many researchers as a valid and repeatable method of studying GB. Among the biomarkers researched in blood patient, microRNAs (miRNAs) are among the most encouraging. The aim of our research was to select blood miRNAs overexpressed in GB patients, to establish a reliable biomarkers panel for pathology. Methods We studied blood expression of 14 miRNAs in 30 subjects with GB, before and after surgery, and 30 healthy controls. Results Statistical analysis allowed us to select a panel of 3 miRNAs (miR-340-5p, miR-369-3p, miR-486-5p) with excellent diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in GB.

Background: At present, existing risk scores together with traditional biomarkers such as troponin and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are still unable to accurately predict cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for improved identification of high-risk patients; however, limited studies have been performed in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Objectives: To investigate the predictive potential of six serum-derived circulating miRNAs for CTRCD occurrence in patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer receiving trastuzumab (TTZ).

Introduction: Ovarian cancer has a high mortality rate due to late diagnosis, relapse and chemoresistance. miRNAs play a major role in tumorigenesis as well as chemoresistance. Hence, we undertook a study, to evaluate the differential expression of miRNAs in clinical specimens of ovarian cancer patients that may highlight the effect of chemotherapy and their role in predicting survival outcomes.

Objectives: Increasing detection of low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is associated with overdiagnosis and overtreatment. N6-methyladenosine (mA)-mediated microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation plays a critical role in tumor metastasis and progression. However, the functional role of mA-miRNAs in PTC remains unclear.

The ceRNA Regulatory Network in Vitiligo: Evidence from Bioinformatics Analysis.

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology for Skin Diseases and STIs, Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Nanjing, 210042, People's Republic of China.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentary disorder caused by the loss of functional melanocytes. Increasing evidence suggests that competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) interactions participate in this process, yet their global architecture in vitiligo remains unclear.

Objective: To delineate a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA ceRNA network associated with vitiligo and to identify blood-borne RNA markers with diagnostic potential.

Exosomes in obstructive sleep apnea-related diseases.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a global public health concern characterized by repeated upper airway collapse during sleep. Research indicates that OSA is a risk factor for the development of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, respiratory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles released by most cell types, play a key role in intercellular communication by transporting their contents-such as microRNA, messenger RNA, DNA, proteins, and lipids-to target cells.
